Melt and Mix Chocolate Coconut Slice

Melt and Mix Chocolate Coconut Slice

I rarely use a recipe that relies on cocoa, because you’ll never achieve that rich chocolate flavour that comes from melting down a block of Cadbury’s. But this recipe gets a thumbs-up in the flavour department, in spite of the lack of real chocolate. It’s […]

The Only Chocolate Brownie Recipe You’ll Ever Need

The Only Chocolate Brownie Recipe You’ll Ever Need

I stand by my outrageous claim that this is the best brownie recipe. Ever. It’s moist, rich and fudgy and delicious hot or cold and satisfyingly chocolatey.  It’s easy to make too. There’s no double-baking and not even a pinch of cocoa or coffee granules […]

Lemon Blondies

Lemon Blondies

After the excitement of Berlin, pasta hacking and winning a Lurpak hamper for my Bad-ass toastie for #freestylefood month – this post feels rather boring in comparison. I’ve been so busy working on promoting Animal Music that I’ve got no stories to tell about this […]

Coconut and Ginger Slice

If you ever wanted to cunningly plot the demise of an enemy with a cake-induced-heart-attack, this recipe would be your weapon of choice. It is one of the most supernaturally seductive slices I’ve ever tasted and contains a whopping one and a half blocks of butter, […]
